Bridget Jones's Baby

"Bridget Jones thought that after the struggles of her thirties, her forties would go a little more to plan. Until...she finds herself single yet again and older. Although she has a "top job" as a news program producer and tries to gain some semblance of control, she finds herself quickly falling for another handsome man, Jack, while still maintaining an on and off relationship with Mark Darcy. Suddenly, a pregnancy, a question of paternity and the normal struggles of a forty-something show Bridget that plans rarely works out. Sometimes, you just have to go with what life throws at you.

Not terrible, but this series has lost its way. The good thing about the first film was that it's a relatable romantic comedy about finding the right person. In the 2nd not-so-funny film, self-doubt questioned that decision but things turned out ok. The bad advice of this 3rd film is to ignore lengthy past history (and even science) to go with your gut because things could only be better when a baby is involved. The Hugh Grant church scene points out a double standard that is quickly forgotten. At no time does Patrick Dempsey's celebrity millionaire mathematician character wonder whether a one-night stand claiming he is the father might be after his money. Foul language and not particularly funny.

Seems to be a fairy tale about a WHIP (Woman who is Hot, Intelligent and in her Prime) who was still single but primed to procreate and settle down with her backup dream mate. A few, just a few, funny moments and learned a couple of feminine acronyms. Watched this because loved the first Bridget Jones's Diary film.

It was OK this movie. I adore the first one, disliked the second one. So I was not too sure what I'd get with this movie. I like where Bridget's character is in the movie: still single and no husband or baby whereas everyone else in her life is, and her family is reminding her of her age...it is very relatable. So, I liked the idea of the movie and I like where it headed (getting pregnant and not knowing who the father is). But, honestly, it was not that funny. The ending is quite predictable and it just wasn't interesting enough to hold my attention throughout the movie.

Not the light-hearted comedy I was looking for. First movie was good at capturing the "chick lit" movement and I wasn't expecting drama or complicated plot from this one. However, there's little chemistry between the character that Renee plays and the American "challenger", while Colin Firth seems rather depressed. While presented as a sidenote, teaching children how to swear and assess bedmates also seemed incongruous despite pained attempts to make it seem charming.

I'm no prude but I thought the first third of this movie was vulgar and I almost turned it off. The whole premise was ridiculous but I will agree with other reviewers: Emma Thompson was absolutely fantastic as her doctor and shines every time that she is on screen. If you watch the extras, Emma talks about being a co-writer on this movie and her first time writing a romantic-comedy. I truly hope we see more of this talented writer-actor. "Geriatric" pregnancy certainly hits it dead on; Colin Firth looked like he was embarassed to be in the movie.

I loved the first few BJones movies, this one however was horrible. I am so sad to have wasted my precious time. The rushed and thrown together movie was not good at all and ruined the whole series for me. Dont waste your time!
